Bazaar is another distributed version control system (DVCS), similar to git. Mercurial is another similar DVCS.
As has been mentioned, there are bridges to allow some level of interaction between an SVN repository and local DVCS. Using these bridges, a user could check out code from an existing SVN repository, then locally work the code as if it were in a local git (or bazaar) repository. While working locally, the git user uses git commands. When it's time to sync work back, the bridge pushes the local git commits back into the central SVN repository. For a user wanting to use a DVCS, a bridge is better than nothing, in that it allows local offline checkins. Several users (Ondrej, Adam, Tom) that I'm aware of are already using these bridges to interact with Moses and other projects that have svn backends. But, a bridge is just a bridge. The shortcomings of SVN that git (or other DVCSes) overcome (such as very cheap, frequent branching, and better tracking of renamed files) are still present, because the central repository is still SVN.
